Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #54 - BLAZERS @ NUGGETS - 2/10/25 - MON - 6:00 PM - CHARGE - KUNP - BLAZERVISION

Phoned it in tonight. Giving up ~150

 

Nah, a lot of guys are hurt but Shaedon just has a very short leash. He makes a couple of mistakes out there and Chauncey sits his ass on the bench. At the same time even when Shaedon's game is rolling on both ends, if Chauncey's scheduled rotation says so... he sits Shaedon's ass on the bench.

I haven't been one of the anti Chauncey crowd but the uneven managing of these players is getting to me. I am biased though, I want to see Shaedon play more than any other guy on this roster.

On a different note. Our fucking defense was absolute shit tonight.

 

And it doesn't seem fair to Deni either. he seems kind of worn down lately and it seems more rest would do him good.

 

Lamar just said that Ant only took 5 shots?!?! Dafuq? Ant had less shots than usual at 13 attempts but why do I know that and Lamar thinks it was 5... I guess he was just looking at Scoot's line on accident. Scoot having 5 attempts is not as shocking.

 

One thing I will say about Deni getting a lot of PT is that he does play about all 5 positions basically.

 

Ant was jacking all night.

 

Ayton had ZERO rebounds? Did I read that right?

 

Billups should be fired for Sharpe only getting 20 minutes in this actual laugher.

 

He’s probably done for the season. Who cares?

 

And the dude doing on air analysis didn't even sound confused when the words "5 shots" came out of his mouth when talking about Ant. I guess no one was locked in tonight. Chauncey said it was an alright game basically at the presser. The only thing to say about our team in that game is they didn't show up. To just tip your hat to Denver is disingenuous. Denver did come to play and they are the better team but we provided very little resistance.

 

I didn’t watch the game. Did he get injured?

 

I just don't get it. He won't play Shaedon like a starter. Shae is the only guy on the team that gets sat when he makes mistakes. Then Chauncey won't give Shaedon a chance to get some run in garbage time when he's sat so much throughout the rest of the game. Not cool.

 

Yup. Had to be helped off. Looked serious.

 

Yeah, he couldn't walk on his injured leg and they're calling it a calf strain. He looked pretty hurt for just a calf strain. That being said, I don't see DA as much of a gamer, or a guy that would play through pain, so... he could be back on Thursday next week which is the game after our next game due to the all star break.

 

I doubt they did an MRI yet. Could still be a tear.

 

Are we supposed to still believe in this Fools Gold? All in on the play in?

 

Never should have and if Joe actually had offers for any of Ant, Jerami or more unlikely Deandre where we didn't have to pay to get rid of them and Joe didn't pull the trigger on those, he's a fucking idiot. If he had someone willing to give anything more than two second round picks and an expiring for Rob and didn't, he was taking a big gamble.

This team isn't complete, we still need a sure fire superstar, ending the tank/rebuild now is a huge "fuck you" to all of us who had to sit through tanks to get better position in way worse drafts.
